Postings by Bruce

We adopted Bruce from our local shelter when he was 8-10 weeks. They said he was a lab/border collie mix but I've had several people tell me I have a beautiful flat-coat retriever. Could he have some or all in him? Physical specifics are this: 11 months, 65 lb., 23" at the shoulder, LOTS of feathers on legs/tail/chest with very silky/shiney black fur.

Poor Bruce has been itchy since we got him at 10 weeks and it only got MUCH worse when a friend suggested switching to Eukanuba. After the switch he was an eye booger machine who started chewing his feet and losing hair on the insides of his legs due to chewing. The final straw was when everytime he'd poo his backside was super itching for a good half hour.

I am a bad Mommy because I switched him cold turkey. I figured it couldn't be any worse than he was already experiencing. So out went the Euk and in came the Natural Balance LID Fish and Sweet Potato. When Daddy fed him last night he asked if he'd been fed at all yesterday because he was scarfing. Yes, he'd been fed and each time he ate with gusto.

24 hours later we have little to no eye boogers, feet chewing is to a minimum and he doesn't seem to have an itching bottom after pooping. Stools are not runny from the quick switch either. Can't wait to see what a week brings.
